The Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement, Uganda The Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement, Uganda Date: January 31st, 2016 Prepared by: Naku Charles Lwanga I. Demographic Information 1. City & Province Bweyale, Masindi, Uganda 2. Organization: Real Medicine Foundation Uganda (www.realmedicinefoundation.org) World Children’s Fund (www.worldchildrensfund.net) 3. Project Title: The Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement 4. Reporting Period: October 1st, 2015 to December 31st, 2015 5. Project Location (region & city/town/village): Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement, Kiryandongo District, Uganda 6. Target Population: Over 60,000 residents in the Bweyale region, including 41,000 Ugandan IDPs, Bududa survivors, and South/Sudanese, Congolese and Kenyan refugees which are the main target population; there are also refugees from Burundi and Rwanda. We saw an influx of 10,000 Ugandan IDPs in October 2010 and another 15,000 joined the camp at the end of May 2011. By the end of December 2013, thousands of South Sudanese refugees started arriving in Kiryandongo, fleeing the conflict in their country that started in mid-December. By early January 2016, we had 49,065 new arrivals from South Sudan. Because of the continued war in South Sudan, we are currently receiving over 170 new arrivals every day; some are coming from other refugee camps to settle in Kiryandongo. II. Project Information 7. Project Goal: Assist the refugee settlement with treating the most prevalent conditions in the refugee population with special attention to Malaria and Malnutrition at the Panyadoli Health Center. Support the education of refugee school children. Develop the economic component of our humanitarian work through vocational training. 8. Project Objectives: • Provide funding for continuous running of the Vocational Training Institute. • Provide funding to facilitate candidates taking their national exams in Masindi. This facilitation includes transportation there and back, accommodation, food, and an allowance for the teachers who take care of the students in Masindi. • Provide school fees and scholastic materials for all Kenyan and South Sudanese refugee school children, at the beginning of the term. • Continuous maintenance of RMF’s office compound at the camp, for use by RMF staff in Kiryandongo Resettlement Camp • Provide other support as needed/budgeted to Kiryandongo schools and the community as a whole. • Maintenance and repair of water taps at the health center, and repair of some boreholes at the camp • Maintain adequate medicine and medical supplies at the Panyadoli Health Center. Research the upgrade of Panyadoli Health Centre III to hospital level. • Provide funding to facilitate fieldwork for students studying geography. • Support renovation of hair dressing class (rebuilding and painting) and tailoring class. • Funding 10 tailors to create tailoring businesses within Uganda, paying their one-year rent and providing training in new skills such as making baby carriers. • Support of RMF office in Uganda with a new computer for proper reporting and recordkeeping • Support of Panyadoli Vocational School with fuel for running the generator to support gadgets in the hair dressing class and sewing machines in tailoring class • Running Panyadoli Vocational Training Institute. For the last intakes, we increased the number of candidates for both tailoring and hair dressing. This has given a chance to more refugee youth and the host community to acquire livelihood skills. New courses— carpentry and bricklaying— were put in place through JICA funding; these courses are now continued by RMF. • Financial and scholastic material support to schools within the settlement. This has helped to keep schools operating smoothly amidst continued influx of refugees from South Sudan. • Contributing funds towards celebration of important events within the settlement, namely orientation of all IP and OP staffs. This has promoted solidarity between RMF and other partners within the settlement. • Facilitation to attend UNHCR and partners’ coordinating meetings, both in the settlement and regional offices; this has helped to promote cohesiveness in operations. 9. Summary of RMF/WCF-sponsored activities carried out during the reporting period under each project objective (note any changes from original plans): School Support: • A total of 5,282 school children were supported by RMF/WCF funding for the third term of 2015 in Nursery, Primary, and Secondary Schools; including Kenyans, South/Sudanese, Rwandan, Burundian, Ugandan IDPs, and Congolese children/students. • The third term school fees in all sponsored schools were paid. • Distributions of scholastic materials to all children in different schools were made. Arnold Primary School, we support 1,918 pupils Panyadoli Self Help Secondary School, 4 students Can Rom Primary School, we support 2,680 pupils Beth Cole Nursery School, we support 680 children In summary: Beth Cole Nursery School 680 Can Rom and Arnold Primary Schools 4,598 Panyadoli Self Help Secondary School 4 Total Children Supported 5,282 Refugees Nationals Schools Males Females Total Males Females Total Grand Total Can Rom Primary 1330 980 2310 205 165 370 2680 School Arnold P/S 1072 762 1834 43 41 84 1918 Beth Cole N/S 386 245 631 23 26 49 6680 Other Schools 3356 Panyadoli SS 378 223 601 53 31 84 685 Medicine Delivery RMF/WCF, local government, and UNHCR equipped the health center with pharmaceuticals this reporting period. The last resupply was on December 12th, 2015. The number of patients remained high, and medicine demand continued at a high level because of the influx of South Sudanese refugees entering Kiryandongo as a result of the crisis in South Sudan that started mid-December 2013. Vocational Training Institute • Continued financial support and guidance for the RMF Tailoring and Hairdressing Vocational Training Institute; a total of 92 students were admitted for the September- December intake. These students were in four different courses: carpentry and joinery, brick laying and concrete practice, tailoring and garment cutting, hair dressing and beauty therapy. Many people still show much interest in skills training at the institute, though we are still restrained by the absence of other courses and funds in particular to facilitate those courses. This was shown by the 530 applicants in all four departments. All went through extensive interview processes. All partners implementing their activities in the settlement were invited, and the RMF coordinator and Panyadoli Vocational Training Institute instructors attended the interviews. We interviewed 183 applicants and 92 were admitted. All the materials for this intake were procured. • In this 2015 semester, 92 new students were accepted: 39 for tailoring, 25 for hairdressing, 12 for carpentry and joinery, and 16 for brick laying and concrete practice. Their semester started on September 7th, 2015, and ended on December 15th, 2015. • DIT exams were taken, and 86 students managed to complete exams in the four departments. Drop out students still exist because of the mobility of the refugee community as they are always going back to their country when it seems to be secure. • Continued financial support for running the Vocational Training Institute for Tailoring and Hair Dressing, and the other courses (building and carpentry) that were being sponsored by JICA have been taken over by RMF/WCF and are effectively doing well. • The carpentry and joinery class and the three departments at the Vocational Training Institute have managed to meet the deadline for the models to be completed within a given period of time. • All the materials for the semester were bought in plenty and in time. • The hair dressing classroom is on schedule for being completed; they have started plastering and roofing, which will bridge the gap that was existing as the former classroom was too small. 10. Results and/or accomplishments achieved during this reporting period: • By the end of last year, the Vocational Training Institute had managed to equip 313 students in the year 2015 for the three intakes they undertook that year. • New medical and non-medical staff members were recruited through collaboration with the Government of Uganda and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR): 1 Medical Doctor/Officer, 4 Nurses, 3 Midwives, 3 Clinical Officers, 1 Lab Technician, 2 Lab Assistants, 1 Pharmacy Assistant, 1 Community Health Assistant, 1 Program Officer, 1 Head of Finance and Administrator, 1 Finance and Administrator, 1 Senior HIV/AIDS Counselor, 1 HIV/AIDS Counselor, 1 Pediatric HIV/AIDS Counselor, 2 Data Clerks, 2 Ward Cleaners, 3 Compound Cleaners, 3 Guards, 2 Drivers. • Of the 92 students who reported for vocational training during the second intake in September to December 2015, 86 graduated on December 15th, 2015. • A total of 5,282 school children were supported for the third term of 2015, including Kenyan, South/Sudanese, Rwandan, Burundian, Ugandan IDP, and Congolese children/students. • Continued financial support for the running of the Vocational Training Institute for all the four courses of tailoring, hairdressing, carpentry, and bricklaying. • All the materials for the third semester of 2015 were bought in plenty. • The RMF/WCF office at the camp was maintained. • Support of the 10 tailors who are doing business in Uganda and are progressing in the field. • After assessment of our successful candidates who were given start up kits at the Vocational Training Institute, concerns raised included lack of knowledge in business management, bookkeeping, and accounting.

    NEW ISSUES IN REFUGEE RESEARCH Working Paper No. 32 UNHCR’s withdrawal from Kiryandongo: anatomy of a handover Tania Kaiser Consultant UNHCR CP 2500 CH-1211 Geneva 2 Switzerland e-mail: [email protected] October 2000 These working papers provide a means for UNHCR staff, consultants, interns and associates to publish the preliminary results of their research on refugee-related issues. The papers do not represent the official views of UNHCR. They are also available online at <http://www.unhcr.org/epau>. ISSN 1020-7473 Introduction The Kiryandongo settlement for Sudanese refugees is located in the north-eastern corner of Uganda’s Masindi district. Part of a former cattle ranching area, land there was gazetted by the Ugandan government for use by refugees in 1990. The first transfers of refugees took place shortly afterwards, and the settlement is now well established, with land divided into plots on which people have built houses and have cultivated crops on a small scale. Anthropological field research (towards a D.Phil. in anthropology, Oxford University) was conducted in the settlement from October 1996 to March 1997 and between June and November 1997. During the course of the fieldwork UNHCR was involved in a definitive process whereby it sought to “hand over” responsibility for the settlement at Kiryandongo to the Ugandan government, arguing that the refugees were approaching self-sufficiency and that it was time for them to be absorbed completely into local government structures. The Ugandan government was reluctant to accept this new role, and the refugees expressed their disbelief and feelings of betrayal at the move.

    STATEMENT by H.E. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni President of the Republic of Uganda At The Annual Budget Conference - Financial Year 2016/17 For Ministers, Ministers of State, Head of Public Agencies and Representatives of Local Governments November11, 2015 - UICC Serena 1 H.E. Vice President Edward Ssekandi, Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Ruhakana Rugunda, I was informed that there is a Budgeting Conference going on in Kampala. My campaign schedule does not permit me to attend that conference. I will, instead, put my views on paper regarding the next cycle of budgeting. As you know, I always emphasize prioritization in budgeting. Since 2006, when the Statistics House Conference by the Cabinet and the NRM Caucus agreed on prioritization, you have seen the impact. Using the Uganda Government money, since 2006, we have either partially or wholly funded the reconstruction, rehabilitation of the following roads: Matugga-Semuto-Kapeeka (41kms); Gayaza-Zirobwe (30km); Kabale-Kisoro-Bunagana/Kyanika (101 km); Fort Portal- Bundibugyo-Lamia (103km); Busega-Mityana (57km); Kampala –Kalerwe (1.5km); Kalerwe-Gayaza (13km); Bugiri- Malaba/Busia (82km); Kampala-Masaka-Mbarara (416km); Mbarara-Ntungamo-Katuna (124km); Gulu-Atiak (74km); Hoima-Kaiso-Tonya (92km); Jinja-Mukono (52km); Jinja- Kamuli (58km); Kawempe-Kafu (166km); Mbarara-Kikagati- Murongo Bridge (74km); Nyakahita-Kazo-Ibanda-Kamwenge (143km); Tororo-Mbale-Soroti (152km); Vurra-Arua-Koboko- Oraba (92km). 2 We are also, either planning or are in the process of constructing, re-constructing or rehabilitating

  • Executive Summary
    KARUMA HPP (600 MW) __________________________________________ EIPL Executive Summary Uganda is currently facing a huge electricity supply deficit; it has one of the world’s lowest levels of electricity development as well as the lowest per capita electricity consumption. Over 90 percent of the country's population is not connected to the national grid, much of the electricity network at present is poorly maintained and country the experiences frequent power cuts. According to the National Development Plan (NDP- 2010/11-2014) the present peak demand of Uganda is about 400 MW or more which has been growing at an annual rate of 8%, to meet this growth with demand about 20 MW of new generating capacity needs to be added each year. NDP further identifies that, current levels of electricity supply cannot support heavy industries limited generation capacity and corresponding limited transmission and distribution network as among other key constraints to the performance of the energy sector in the country. Given the large and growing gap between electricity supply and demand in Uganda, a number of electricity generation alternatives were explored under Rural Electrification Programme for next 20 years. Studies over various planning horizons were also examined and prioritized for the country under the Hydropower Master Plan. The conclusions from the evaluation of these generation alternatives reveals that large scale hydroelectric development is the most economical way forward for the country in the short-medium term. Therefore, to meet the growing electricity demand seven potential hydropower sites have been examined downstream of Bujagali Hydro Power Project (which is already under construction) over River Victoria Nile from Lake Victoria to Lake Albert as river is the primary hydrological resource available in country.

  • Works Department the Roads Sub Sector
    Department: Works Department The Roads Sub Sector Summary statement Kiryandongo district is traversed by 1064km of road network. 77km are tarmacked. The rest are earth and gravel roads which are vulnerable to degradation by weather and easily damaged or destroyed in wet condition and require continuous replenishment. That calls for continuous and repetitive investment. This road network, for jurisdiction purposes, is further subdivided in to four categories: National Roads - 131km (where the Authority is UNRA), District Roads – 345km (where the Authority is the District), Urban Roads 131km (where the Authority are the Town Councils) and Sub County Roads – 458km (where the Authority are the Sub counties). In terms of performance, 57% of roads are in good/fair motorable state. The main funding agency of road development and road maintenance in the district is the Uganda Road Fund (URF). Achievements of FY 2016/2017 (a) Under Mechanized Maintenance (using URF funds), the following roads were graded: Tecwa-Kanywamaizi, 8km section. The remaining section of Nyakadoti- Tecwa is planned for FY 2017/18. Kigumba-Mpumwe, 6km section Mutunda-Kawiti-Kimogoro, 10km section Kigumba-Apodorwa-Mboira, 6km section Kiigya-Kinyara-Masindi Port, 8km section Kaduku-Atura, 2km section (b) Under Periodic Maintenance (using DDEG funds), the district graded Kitongozi-Naguru-Gaspa road, 9km, to complete the link from Kiryampungura to Gaspa through the interior Kiryandongo. (c) UNHCR funded grading of Bweyale-Panyadoli-Kimogoro, 9km, under Periodic Maintenance. Haulage Lorries of charcoal and produce have damaged that road.
